paqctl is a unified command-line manager for deploying and controlling bypass proxy setups across client and server machines. It is designed for users who run a server component on a VPS and a local client on Windows, macOS, or Linux. The tool supports two different approaches: Paqet, which uses KCP over raw sockets for simpler cases, and GFW-Knocker, which combines TCP and QUIC tunneling for heavier censorship scenarios. It provides guided installation, configuration, service management, status checks, and backup-oriented dual-backend operation. The project focuses on making complex proxy infrastructure easier to install and operate from a single shell-based interface. It is best understood as an automation layer for users who already need managed proxy connectivity between a local machine and a remote server.
